Chore Chart

This chore chart is for a family with up to 6 children who each have their own jobs. You type every name and chore once on the setup page, which has six blocks of a name and 8 chore lines. The same words then appear on the Family Chart and on a My Chores page for each child. The child pages have big tick boxes and a Draw it column for children who cannot read yet. Page 9 lists 32 chore ideas by age. Print a fresh chart each week. Weeks begin on Sunday in the Letter file, and on Monday in the A4 file.

Compatibility and file formats

Fillable PDF with form fields, for Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer. Page sizes in the files: US Letter 612 x 792 pt and A4 595 x 842 pt. Each size has 54 fields. A script typed into every field through PDFium's form engine, saved the file, reopened it and read each entry back with two PDF libraries (pikepdf and pypdf). It also drew the saved file with PDFium and poppler and found each entry on the page. Adobe Acrobat Reader and Preview have not been tried, so opening, typing and saving in them is untested, and it has not been test-printed on a real printer. Fields use a Western font: accented letters such as é and ñ were typed and read back in that script, and other alphabets were not tested.

Questions

How many children does it hold?

Six. If you have fewer, leave the other blocks empty and print only the pages you use.

Why only 4 chores on the Family Chart?

So six children fit on one sheet. Put the chores you want on the fridge first. All 8 show on the child's own page.

The chore ideas are general starting points, written by AI. Only you know what suits your child. Printer and paper are not included. Digital files cannot be returned once downloaded; if a file does not open or a link is broken, send a message through Etsy. License: for your personal use only. No resale or sharing of this file. AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text, the printed labels and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: the 54 fields, that each name and chore reaches the setup page, the Family Chart and the right child's page, the length limits, that the longest chore fits every field, 8 rows of 7 tick boxes on each child page, the day order in each file, the Tab order, ink near the page edge and text overflow.
